Ricotta Cheese and Orzo Pasta with Asparagus Crab Casserole

I didn't have real crab meat on hand so I
used imitation crab meat in this recipe.
The long title of this recipe says it all.
Easy to throw together in a few minutes,
baked in the oven for creamy goodness
and the delicate flavors of asperagus
that blend nicely with the crab meat.

Ingredients:
12 ounces imitation crab meat 2 cups ricotta cheese
1 large egg
2 cups orzo pasta, cooked
2 cups fresh asparagus, steamed
and cut into small pieces
dash of salt
grease for casserole dish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl combine ricotta,
crab meat, egg, orzo, asperagus and salt.
Grease a casserole dish and evenly
place mixture into casserole.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes,
or until top is browned and cooked.
